Conservation:

This headstone and hundreds of others were excavated in early July 2020 from under the soil surface of an enclosed yard of the Ukrainian National Museum-Memorial of Victims of the Occupation Regimes in Lviv, also called the "Prison on Łącki Street" or in transliterated Ukrainian, simply "Lontsky". It is almost certain that the stones were stolen from the new Jewish cemetery adjacent to the Yanivskyi Cemetery northwest of the Lviv city center during the the German occupation of World War II, and used as paving for the prison yard.

Shortly after the excavation the headstones were photographed on two separate occasions by Sasha Nazar and Oleksandr Papevskiy; together those images added more than 350 new headstones to this database. Five years later and with cooperation of the site's authorities, in June 2025 the headstones were stacked onto pallets and then in July 2025 they were returned to the new Jewish cemetery in Lviv under the direction of Sasha Nazar of the Sholem Aleichem Jewish Cultural Society.
